Recorded by the International Coalition of Girls' Schools. Host Trudy Hall invites Julie Jorritsma, Acting Principal, and Winifred Hanson, Head of Academic Engagement, from Canberra Girls Grammar School to discuss a program designed to ensure girls understand and engage in the political realm. They offer lessons learned, practical advice and a savvy understanding of the skills girls need to successfully enter the political fray. They take the responsibility for preparing girls for a life of service very seriously; they want girls to be able to “open the door, enter the room, and join the conversation.”

In this episode Dr Adam Fraser (founder of the Flourish Movement and author of The Third Space and Strive) and Dr Joe Thurbon (founder of Educator Impact) will discuss what the data tells us about the impact of wellbeing change at a Principal level and how that can filter into the school for whole school wellbeing. They will:

• unpack what the data tells us about wellbeing in schools for leaders, staff and students;
• relay stories of the impact that their programs have had;
• share the lessons that they have learned over the journey
